Rising awareness about asthma spacers is the major factor driving the Asia Pacific spacers market growth. Inhaler spacers play a vital role in the quick and effective delivery of the inhaled drug into the lungs. Spacers are majorly recommended along with the metered dose inhalers as they have significant capacity to spray the medicine, which gets deposited in the throat or palate. Further, the spacers extensively offer improved ergonomics for the patient, enabling enhanced treatment outcomes.
The rapidly increasing prevalence of respiratory conditions is driving the adoption of inhalers. However, many patients lack preparedness while using inhalers, causing medication errors. For instance, according to a study published in the online newsletter Business Standard in 2019, an estimated 42% of the patients missed critical medication steps, which led to lowered treatment outcomes. Spacers can offer smooth and slower absorption of drugs in the lungs to deal with such issues. Such benefits served by the spacers offer significant market growth opportunities.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific asthma spacers market. The Asia Pacific asthma spacers market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
